THE INTERSTATE COLOR LIN

THE INTEER-STATE COLOR LINE.
 Section of the interstate commerce law makes this very explicit provision: That if any common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall, directly or indirectly, by any special rate, rebate, drawback or other deyie charge, demand, collect or receive from any person or persons greater or less compensation for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transportation of passen- gers property subject to the provisions of this act Chat is to say, between the States) than it charges, demands, collects or receives from any person or persons for doing for him or them like and contemporaneeus service in the transportation of like kind of traffic, under substantially similar circumstances and conditions, such common carrier shall be deemed guilty of unjust discrimination, which is hereby prohibited and declared to be unlawful.
 William H. Council, colored citizen of Mobile, Alabama, thinks he can get one of his rights determined under this provision. He has placed before the interstate com mission petition setting forth that he has been the subject of unjust discrimination on
 
 pany by being required, while travelling be- tween the States, to accept second-class ac- cemmodations when he had paid frst-class fare. Council is vouched for by Commis- sioner Bragg as follows: know Council well: He is one of the brightest and best of our colored citizens. He is staunch Democrat, and canvasses the State at every election for the Democratic ticket. He is not a man who desires to push himself forward because of any ambition to obtain social equality. He is modest and unsssuming. He is gentle man. When I was president of the Alabama board of railroad commissioners I required the railroads to furnish frst-class accommo- dations for all passengers who paid 6rst-class fare. There was fearful kick against it, but I stuck to it and enforced the order. They have no right to exact first-class fare from a colored man and then give him fourth-class accommodations.
 This indicates where Commissioner Bragg stands. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the commissioners will say. The law seems to be plain enough

 It is not to be wondered at that collisions between ocean steamships are sometimes not prevented, even when the officers are doing their duty. The Scientific American has consulted MT. Nash, the secretary of the board of pilots, and this authority is of the opinion that if the engines of ship running nineteen knots an hour were stopped and re- versed she would not begin to gather stern way in less than two miles, and she might go as far as three. This view when given was corroborated by seversl pilots. The captain of big tramp steamer has stated that he made the experiment once, and, re- versing the engines when his vessel was go- ing twelve knots an hour, did not succeed in stopping until he had covered four knots. It is asserted on equally experienced author ity that one of these large boats going at full speed cannot be made to change her course by several degrees in less than two miles.

Homan's information is less wide and deep and thorough than that of man. What we regard as highly cultured woman is usually one who has read largely but superfeially; and even in the few instances that can be quoted of extraordinary female industry which on account of their rarity stand out as exceptions to prove the rule-we find long distance between them and the much more numerous instances of profound erudition among them. As musical executants, how ever, I think that equality may be fairly sz- eerta6

+ rom an interview WlCn M. SCraKOScn.
 ''The bomb-ridden Czar of Russia beguiles the interims of time while he is not lodging Nihilistic missiles by playing on the French horn, With which instl dment he is an adept. On one occasion, while he was the Czaro- witch, he played French horn obligato to song given by Mme. Nilsson. When his im- perial majesty last visited Copenhagen he at tended concert in which Nilsson sang the same air, and he was affected to tears by the memories of time when he could foot his horn in peace, undisturbed by revolutionary subjects and the cares of government. When the late King Victor Emmanuel visited the small cities of his realm one of his first questions always was regarding the condi- ton of the opera house. If there was none he would suggest and aid in the constr dction of one, even in towns having uo greater pop ulation than three thousand inhabitants. I always feel an affection for the king, for he gave me this decoration-the cross of San Maurizio de Lazzarc-after s series of con- certs given by Patti in Florence. Victor Emmanuel was a protector of Verdi, and made the composer a senator, although the composer had no longing for political hon ors. His son, King Humbert, pays subsi- dy of ten thousand francs year out of his own personal income to the Apollo Theater of Rome. Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain used to sing very well, but her voice being no longer fresh, she now has preference for instrumental music. The Queen of Belgi- um is very fond of music, and by her ef- forts she has contributed much to the prog ress made in musical art in Belgium of late years. The Emperor of Austria dis purses over one million francs year to the Vienna Opera House, it being his idea that his capital should have an opera house to rival the Grand Opera of Pals.

Her Idea of a Bank Account IE,rn,,a tI,a Cl,ica crr

lfFoln the chicago IrlDune
 A Chicago bank man, who has a pretty wife, told pretty good story at his club the other day by way of illustrating the prover- bial ways of women. She had said to him: ''Desr, now I'm not going to ask you for an allowance; that is vulgar. You put a couple of thousand in the bank to my credit, give me check book and I'll run the house, elothe myself, pay the servants and relieve you of so much care"
 The gentleman was struck with the idea. "After al, |" he said to himself ''this mar riage scrape I've got myself into promises to pan out well. Dear, good little woman! How thoughtful of her. Why, of courssl' So he drew check on his own bank, deposi- ted it in another bank to his wife's individu- al credit and gave her a separate bank and check book. Womanlike she tossed the bank book into drawer, but held religiously to the check book. long before the month had expired she got notice from the bank that her account was exhausted, and the last check had overdrawn it one dollar and sev- enty-nine cents. "Woald she kindly make a new deposit"
 The lady was in furious fume. There must be something wrong she knew. She poured over her check book, counted the stubs and the blank checks and then she knew that the bank had made blunder. She donned her new Easter bonnet and her spring wrap, and full of the spirit of the oo- casion and the outrage of the banks insult sailed into the ceshier at his window.
 "What doo3 this notice meanH she esked in a voice quivering with passion. ''It means that your account is overdrawn madame, that's all.''
 ''It is not, sir My husband gave me thii check-book, and you see yourself that out ot the one hundred checks in it I haven't used fifty. There is the book, sir; see for your self. Of course you'll have to explain this to Mir --- never wes so insulted"
 "But, my dear madame, don't you see you have drawn out all the money to your credit and one dollar and seventy-nine cents be- side"
 t'I don't care anything about that. My husband gave me a check-book, and here less than half of them are used. Do you mean to say am going to lose all of those checks? Welb I'll go and see my husband about it. He'll settle with you, sir, and if have any influence with him, and I think have, both his account and mine shall go out of this bank!'
